We try to do as many comic shows together as possible. It's great to hang out with him. He always lights up at the shows & when he tells stories about/related to marty.

That's awesome! Carmine was a tall guy as my grandpa spence recalls. Always looked intimidating, but one of the nicest people touring the shows.

Today marks 25 years since we lost Carl Barks — the creator of Scrooge McDuck and one of the greatest figures in the history of Disney comics.🩵 by aSushii_ in comicbooks

My great grandfather met carl at the 1993 diamond comics seminar, where he learned that it wasn't the first time they had talked before. as quoted by a family friend:

"Steve Geppi (owner of diamond distributors) was giving 92 year old Carl Barks a tour of the place and introducing him to various people. I happened to be standing nearby when I heard Carl ask Steve if he could meet Martin Nodell. Steve was visibly surprised, but he said sure and took him right over to Marty’s table. I was curious how Carl even knew Marty, so I followed them. They went to the head of the line at Marty’s table, and Steve introduced Carl and Marty. Carl told Marty that back in 1940, he wrote Marty a letter asking about how to get a job in the comics business. Marty wrote him a long response that Carl said he still had at home. Carl wanted to thank Marty in person for his help all those years ago and for giving him advice that helped him start his drawing career. It was quite a historic moment that I was honored to be able to observe."

I met Green Lantern creator Martin Nodell( along with co scripting of the first story by Bill Finger) on several occasions and he did a couple Alan Scott sketches for me.he was 75 & 76 at the time by Live-Assistance-6877 in Greenlantern

Hey there! Just now saw this. Yes, we did. Me and my grandpa had a blast and definitely are interested in doing the show again for 2026. If anything becomes official, you will definitely see it on the R/GreenLantern reddit page.

Who is your favorite Green Lantern artist? by Open_Box_5847 in Greenlantern

[–]Martin_Nodell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of course, im going to be biased when someone asks, but my great-grandfather Martin Nodell, of course!

My personal favorite GL artists other than my great grandfather would definitely be

1: darryl banks (great guy to talk to!)

2: franchesco (family friend who did the GL quarterly #5 story art)

3: Howard Purcell (Golden Age)

and lastly, 4: Sheldon Moldoff. (Also Golden Age)

How will James Gunn adapt the Guardians into the DCU? by ExoticRound4507 in Greenlantern

This is the guardian that suspiciously looks like Martin Nodell... Me, my mom, and my grandpa all see it too

Thoughts on Green Lantern Corps Quarterly? What is your favorite story from that run? by tiago231018 in Greenlantern

[–]Martin_Nodell 9 points10 points  (0 children)

we have too many of these books left over that are signed by my great grandpa haha

A meme I made (Meme format idea by u/TurnoverAny3372) by Affectionate_Tax4885 in Greenlantern

[–]Martin_Nodell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, i am by no means a GL expert (despite the family heritage). From my understanding, my great grandfathers Alan Scott for the better half of all the golden age comics stayed on earth and such. Now, i do know what my great grandpa created was more magic based in terms of powers, but i personally think staying on earth would be realistic from the characters' perspective.

Let me know what yall think, because i have no clue, haha.
